وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا قَالَ فَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ قَالَ فَجَاءَ فَاعْتَرَفَ مِرَارًا فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ فَرُجِمَ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ فَأُخْبِرَ فَقَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تَخَلَّفَ عِنْدَهُنَّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ لَئِنْ أَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْهُمْ لَأَجْعَلَنَّهُمْ نَكَالًا
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and confessed to adultery. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his face away, but he came from that side and again confessed to adultery, and then repeatedly confessed. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered him to be stoned. Then it was reported to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he had been stoned. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up, praised and glorified Allah Almighty, and then said: What will become of those people that when we go out in the way of Allah Almighty, some man stays behind, and to fulfill the intensity of his desire, he makes a sound like a goat and, after running a little, entraps a woman? By Allah! If Allah Almighty gives me power over such a person, I will make him a lesson for the people.
